A talk show ( American ) or '''chat show''' ( British ) is a Television or Radio program where one person or group of people come together to discuss various topics put forth by a talk show Host . Sometimes, talk shows feature a panel of guests, usually consisting of a group of people who are learned or who have great experience in relation to whatever issue is being discussed on the show for that episode. Other times, a single guest discusses their work or area of expertise with a host or co-hosts. A '''call-in show''' takes live phonecalls from callers listening at home, in their cars, etc. GENRES Television talk shows often feature celebrity guests who talk about their work and personal lives as well as the their latest films, TV shows, music recordings or other projects they'd like to promote to the public. The hosts are often comedians who open the shows with comedy monologues. Political talk shows of all sorts are common on radio stations across the United States ranging from local radio talk stations in major metropolitan areas, to nationally syndicated radio talk shows such as the Mike Dickin show and the Rush Limbaugh show. Talk-radio host Howard Stern also hosted a talk show that was syndicated nationally, then moved to satellite radio's Sirius . The Tabloid Talk Show genre, pioneered by Phil Donahue but popularized by Oprah Winfrey was extremely popular during the last two decades of the 20th Century . Politics are hardly the only subject of American talk shows, however. Other radio talk show subjects include ''Car Talk'' hosted by NPR and '' Coast To Coast AM '' hosted by Art Bell and George Noory which discusses topics of the Paranormal , Conspiracy Theories , Fringe Science and the just plain weird. Sports talk shows are also very popular ranging from high-budget shows like '' The Best Damn Sports Show Period '' to Max Kellerman 's original Public Access show ''Max on Boxing''. HISTORY Talk shows have been broadcast on Television since the earliest days of the medium. Late night talk shows are among the oldest, the oldest of which is RTÉ 's The Late Late Show . Current late night talk shows such as '' The Tonight Show With Jay Leno '' and '' Late Show With David Letterman '' have aired for years, featuring celebrity guests and comedy sketches. TV news pioneer Edward R. Murrow hosted a talk show entitled ''Small World'' in the late 1950s and since then, political TV talk shows have predominantly aired on Sunday mornings. Syndicated daily talk shows range from Tabloid Talk Show s, such as '' The Jerry Springer Show .'' to celebrity interview shows like Ellen shows to industry leader The Oprah Winfrey Show which popularized the former genre and has been evolving towards the latter. Talk shows have more recently started to appear on Internet radio. Guinness World Record of 33 hours for longest talk show was broken in 28 August 2007 by Davor Dretar Drele and Kristijan Petrović - Kiky in Varaždin , Croatia durring the Špancir festival. The show lasted for 35 hours.http://www.vtv.hr/vijesti/usprkos-kisi-kiky-i-drele-i-dalje-u-talk-showu/ http://www.sarajevo-x.com/clanak/070829006 LIST OF TELEVISION TALK SHOWS Note: Some of the talk shows listed below are temporarily or permanently off the air or have not premiered yet.
